Use a respirator, water spray or other means to control
dust. Flammable debris (leaves, straw, etc.) must be removed
regularly. If flammable debris is allowed to accumulate, it
can cause a fire hazard. Clean often to avoid this
accumulation. Flammable debris in the engine
compartment is a potential fire hazard.
The operator’s area, engine compartment and engine

cooling system must be inspected every day and cleaned
if necessary to prevent fire hazards and overheating.
All fuels, most lubricants and some coolants mixtures are

flammable. Flammable fluids that are leaking or spilled
onto hot surfaces or onto electrical components can
cause a fire.
Operation
Do not use the machine where exhaust, arcs, sparks or

hot components can contact flammable material,
explosive dust or gases.
Electrical
Check all electrical wiring and connections for damage.

Keep the battery terminals clean and tight. Repair or
replace any damaged part or wires that are loose or
frayed.
Battery gas can explode and cause serious injury. Use

the procedure in the Operation & Maintenance Manual
for connecting the battery and for jump starting. Do not
jump start or charge a frozen or damaged battery. Keep
any open flames or sparks away from batteries. Do not
smoke in battery charging area.

See your Bobcat dealer for more information about the
Effect On The Loader And Loader Operation proper use of counterweights with approved attachments
and accessories for your loader.
Proper operation of the loader and attachment does not
change if counterweights are installed on this loader.
Always follow the instructions provided in this manual
when operating your loader with counterweights installed.
Counterweights installed on your loader can affect the

loader and its operation in some applications. Some
examples are:
• Increased machine weight.
• Increased Rated Operating Capacity (ROC).
• Harder steering.
• Accelerated or uneven tyre wear.
• Increased power consumption.
When To Consider Using Counterweights
Install counterweights to increase the loaders Rated

Operating Capacity (ROC) which could improve
attachment performance in some applications. Some
examples are:
• Using pallet fork with palletised loads.
• Using grapples or bale fork.
• Using buckets to handle loose material without

digging.
When To Consider Removing Counterweights
Remove counterweights to increase the downward force

of the attachment for better attachment performance in
some applications. Some examples are:
• Digging with buckets.
• Using Hydraulic Breakers, Scrapers, or Landplanes.

ATTACHMENTS
Choosing The Correct Bucket
Use the correct bucket size for the type and density of
material being handled. For safe handling of materials
WARNING and avoiding machine damage, the attachment (or
bucket) should handle a full load without going over the
ROC for the loader. Partial loads make steering more
AVOID INJURY OR DEATH difficult.
Never use attachments or buckets which are not
approved by Bobcat Company. Buckets and

being used.
The ROC for this loader is shown on a decal in the
operator cab. (See Performance on Page 218.)
The ROC is determined by using a bucket and material of

normal density, such as dirt or dry gravel. If longer NA3116
buckets are used, the load centre moves forward and
reduces the ROC. If extremely dense material is loaded,
the volume must be reduced to prevent overloading. The maximum load to be carried when using a pallet fork
is shown on a decal located on the pallet fork frame (Item
Figure 122 1) [Figure 123].
WRONG See your Bobcat dealer for more information about pallet
fork inspection, maintenance, and replacement. See your
Bobcat dealer for ROC when using a pallet fork and for
other available attachments.
WARNING
Do not exceed Rated Operating Capacity (ROC).
Excessive load can cause tipping or loss of control.
NA1196 W-2053-0903
Exceeding the ROC [Figure 122] can cause the following

problems:
• Steering the loader may be difficult.

• Tyres will wear faster.
• There will be a loss of stability.
• The life of the Bobcat loader will be reduced.

SEAT BELT
Figure 172
WARNING 1
Failure to properly inspect and maintain the seat belt

can cause lack of operator restraint resulting in 3
serious injury or death.
W-2466-0703
Check the seat belt daily for correct function.
Inspect the seat belt system thoroughly at least once

each year, or more often if the machine is exposed to
severe environmental conditions or applications. 2 4
Any seat belt system that shows cuts, fraying, extreme or

unusual wear, significant discolourations due to
ultraviolet UV exposure, dusty / dirty conditions, abrasion
to the seat belt webbing, or damage to the buckle, latch
plate, retractor (if equipped), hardware, or any other
obvious problem should be replaced immediately.
The items below are referenced in [Figure 172].
1. Check the webbing. If the system is equipped with a 5

retractor, pull the webbing completely out and inspect
the full length of the webbing. Look for cuts, wear,
NA3113
fraying, dirt, and stiffness.
2. Check the buckle and latch for correct operation.

Make sure latch plate is not excessively worn or
deformed and buckle is not damaged or casing
broken.
3. Check the retractor web storage device (if equipped)

by extending webbing to determine if it looks correct,
and that it spools out and retracts webbing correctly.
4. Check webbing in areas exposed to ultraviolet (UV)

rays from the sun, or extreme dust or dirt. If the
original colour of the webbing in these areas is
extremely faded and / or the webbing is packed with
dirt, the webbing strength may have deteriorated.
5. Check the hardware on both sides of the seat.

Hardware should be tight. Hardware must not be
missing, rusted, corroded, or damaged.
See your Bobcat dealer for seat belt system replacement

parts for your machine.
